My pup had the best time with Nancy, Coffee & family. The fenced in yard was great for her to run around off leash & I felt very comfortable leaving Winnie in Nancy’s care. Winnie played fetch & even received a special treat. Nancy’s family is very friendly & Winnie is excited about her next visit!! Well.. after her long nap! Haha.

About: Caring for children has been my career for over 15 years. Working in education, I know that trust isn't given, its earned through consistency, communication and genuine care. While my professional background is with children, the same qualities I bring to families everyday are exactly what I'll bring to your dog: patience, attention to detail and a calm caring presence. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy dog and have complete peace of mind knowing they were treated like one of my own. My schedule offers flexibility, which allows me to fit pet care into my week while giving each dog the attention they deserve. Some days I’m available earlier than others, and weekends are generally more open. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure I can fully commit before accepting a booking. When your dog is in my care, they’ll have my full attention, plenty of affection, and dependable care every step of the way. I know that trusting someone with your dog is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Whether your dog is staying in my home or joining me for a walk, their safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep routines as consistent as possible, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in caring, dependable hands. My goal is to create a calm, welcoming environment where your dog feels loved, secure, and right at home. No other pets in the home. Non-smoking home. Plenty of space for walks and play. Only one family’s dog(s) at a time

Svitlana was wonderful with Gerda! She was kind, reliable, and clearly took great care of her. Gerda seemed comfortable and happy, and we felt completely at ease leaving her in Svitlana’s care. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

About: I’ve watched and handled dogs for over a decade, and have the experience and strength to control large or energetic pets. I keep extensive notes on medical needs, diet, commands, and personality quirks for all the pets I watch so I can be sure they get the best care possible. I work part time, but my schedule is fairly flexible. I have a car and can travel to your home to watch and walk your pet, or take you pet to my home (as long as your dog is ok with other dogs). I live in a a fairly calm neighborhood with lots of sidewalks and grassy to take your pets to, and can walk your pet multiple times per day. I will also send you pictures of your pet with every visit or throughout the day so you're kept in the loop of how your pet is doing.

About: Taking care of pets has always been my utmost passion! I was an elementary school teacher in BROWARD county for over 25 years. In 2020, I made the difficult decision to take an early retirement from teaching in an effort to pursue my life long passion and goal... caring for pets in a loving, nurturing and trusting manner. Over the years, I have rescued several dogs, many of which had medical concerns that required me to attain proper medication administering (including syringe injections and overall health care). I am available to love and care for your pet/s when my services are needed. I cater to you and your pet’s most convenient needs. I am available to stay in your home or mine. If your needs don’t include overnight stays, I am gladly available to see your pets for feeding, walking and play times. I’m very flexible and am here to meet your needs. Hope to meet you and your fur babies in the near future! I have 2 dogs of my own that are great with other dogs. I enjoy walking, exercising and playtime daily and often. Love to spoil all dogs! (And cats too! 🐾)

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15+ years of experience caring for pets and four years as a sitter on Rover. ❤️ Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each pup’s personality, quirks, favorite things, and routine. My dog of a lifetime was my Great Dane, who was truly my first baby. I was lucky enough to love him through every stage of his life, including his senior years, before we had to say goodbye. Because of him, I have an extra-special place in my heart for senior dogs and am very comfortable with the additional patience, gentleness, and attention they sometimes need. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own pets as well as dogs belonging to friends, neighbors, and many wonderful families I’ve met through Rover. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities—from playful pups who want lots of walks and attention to older dogs who are happiest curled up next to you getting some extra love. One of the biggest things I want pet parents to know is that your dog will be treated like part of our family while they’re with me. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re safe, loved, and getting plenty of attention. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means walks, meals on a particular schedule, playtime, belly rubs, couch snuggles, or simply having someone nearby so they don’t feel alone. I’m also big on communication and love sending updates and pictures so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away! After four years on Rover, I’ve learned that every dog is different—and that’s one of my favorite parts of doing this. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with the dogs I care for and love when they come back and immediately feel at home. At the end of the day, I care for every dog the way I would want someone to care for mine—with patience, kindness, attention, and lots of love. Your dog isn’t just another Rover booking to us, they’re part of the family while they’re here! I work part-time and create my own hours so I am able to enjoy the flexibility to work around the needs of my clients. This allows me to put your pet first. My husband also tag teams things with me. He is a school teacher and helps out as his schedule allows. I treat each pet like they are my own. I have a large yard and live in a family and pet friendly neighborhood that is amazing for walks. While your pets will get everything they need, they’ll also enjoy the company of a 3 year old beagle mix that was rescued at a week old. She is incredibly friendly and will provide great company for your pet. I follow all directions to a tee and will ensure your pet feels at home even when you are away.

About: I'm an active, work from home dog (and people) dad with a fenced yard and breaks throughout the day to get all the two- and four-legged steps in. Happy to open our home to a few new furry friends to compliment our Aussie/Beagle mix and Jack Russell mix. We have a clean, smoke free home properly appointed for dogs with a fenced back yard and another Rover approved adult (my wife) as a work from home dog (and people!) mom too. Access to nearby greenways and a nice suburban neighborhood for all the walks and maybe an occasional run or two if your pup is up for it. I am a strategic business consultant with long blocks of uncommitted time throughout the day where I can provide walks and entertainment for your pup. Dogs are welcome to be my work buddies in our finished mother-in-law suite turned into an office above the garage. Ample access to the fenced backyard and a couple of built in playmates with our well-mannered Aussie/Beagle and Jack Russell mixes. We have a fenced yard with a doggie door leading from the main home. Dogs will also be restricted to the first floor of our home (no steps required for entry!) which is properly set up for pet care as we have 2 dogs of our own. My wife (also a Rover approved sitter) and I both work from home and are active people who love taking walks throughout the day. Clean, smoke-free home and happy to make reasonable accommodations for your pet upon request Just ask!

Nancy was absolutely wonderful! She graciously accepted my VERY last minute booking request, was easy to communicate/coordinate with, and a breeze for drop off and pick up. She was just what Mandy needed as we train her separation anxiety. I loved the pictures she sent of their time together. Was very nice to know my pup was in safe, loving hands! And her backyard looks like a dog’s paradise which was perfect for Mandy’s addiction to ball throwing!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Cornelius

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Cornelius on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,671 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Cornelius. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Cornelius commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,671 sitters in Cornelius, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
